Yakhopper's Clear Lake Roll Call - New Location

I'll be there barring veto by circumstance... Ron... I'll have 2 yaks if someone wants to use 1? Contact me

I'm in. 

IM IN + 1

Do we  have to launch at edgewater, or can we drive to the state or couty park.

This event will be at Edgewater Resort

Unfortunatley the State Park has been Flooded and even if the water subsides by than the mud will still be an issue. If you were planning on fishing that area it is still just a short paddle/peddle to that area but in all fairness we need to have all anglers launch at the same spot.
I know the cost of day use is a little steep ($10 P.P.) but without inspections or launch fee this is still reasonable. Also if you are camping they will include day use for Sun. and they will let us use the swim beach as a launch site and give us the gathering (BBQ) area for free as well as let us check out by 4pm. Their insurance mandates that they have a staff member on duty prior to opening for day use so she asked if those comming up for the day plan on not getting there till 6:30 am.
I know we are used to a little more freedom but with limited time this is still the best option and I look forward to seeing you all there on Sunday.

Thanks again for your understanding,
Eric / Yakhopper

P.S.
Be sure to tell them you are with the Kayak Group when you make reservations

We'll be there.

Thanks

Didn't last year

You are correct,
Unfortunately some called foul at a couple events last year so for 2011 the rules have been modified to alleviate any controversy.
Also there will be no grace period for any late anglers to check-in.
I know I can't make everybody happy, but I will try to be as fair as I can

Eric,

Please add me to the list

You do a great job of it Eric thanks

The only thing that concerns me is the lack of parking, for the ones showing up on sunday. That little place could get packed real quick.
 
I drove by soda bay yesterday, I could not belive the alge bloom that was going on. Clearlake has its corn husk (if you cast it they will bite) smell wafting from her shores. FISH ON PEOPLE.

WARNING...WARNING...WARNING...WARNING...WARNING...
Soda bay is a major speed trap, designate a driver, and its 25mph in the bay.
I would hate to see any body have their weekend #@&*%up. with a ticket.

This will be my first NCKA event I am stoked to say the least.
If any body has any questions abut the area feal free to p.m me

I'm in (+1 ) see ya there

In keeping you all up to speed,
I just recieved a email from the folks at Edgewater and wanted to pass it on so we have no problems.

Hello Eric,
 
It was a pleasure speaking to you today about your on-line kayaking club's event at the Edgewater Resort on the weekend of April 8-10, 2011.
 
As stated we have already been receiving individual reservations for the weekend.  Following are the points that we covered during our conversation today:
 
1. The event will take place on Sunday, April 10th with your fishing tournament starting at 7:00AM until 1:00PM, when you will have a BBQ for the anglers which will end no later than 4:00PM.
 
2.  On Sunday, April 10th we will open our office at 6:30 AM, for day use members arriving no earlier than 6:30AM.  The Day Use fees are $10 per person.  When they check in at the registration office (on the beach) we will assign them a parking area and issue them a restroom/shower key for a $5.00 refundable cash deposit which will be returned to them upon check out by 4:00PM.
 
3. For folks staying overnight in RV's, tent camping sites or cabins on Friday and/or Saturday nights we will give them complimentary day use on Sunday,  to stay in the park for the event and BBQ until 4:00PM.  Our regular check-out time is 12:00 Noon. 
 
4.  We will reserve the group BBQ area for you.  This big BBQ takes 50# of charcoal to start and needs an hour for the charcoal to be ready to cook and not burn!  So, as you mentioned, you may want to just bring your smaller portable BBQ! Please let us know if you wish to use our big BBQ so that we can put the grill top on it for you.
 
5.  You will be able to launch your kayaks off of the beach area.
 
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email or call anytime.  Thank you for choosing the Edgewater Resort for your special event.
